Germany’s transport ministry plans to spend €250 million ($266 million) over the next two years to help commercialize fuel cell technology for mass-produced passenger vehicles, according to Die Welt.
The newspaper, which cites no sources, says the program will include funding to help develop infrastructure, including hydrogen the fueling stations required by such vehicles. Die Weld reports the government also will back an incentive plan to help spur sales of fuel-cell vehicles through 2025.
Transport minister Alexander Dobrindt tells the newspaper that fuel cells are a “key technology” in electric mobility. He says the government has spent about €1.4 billion ($1.5 billion) to support fuel-cell research by some 500 companies over the past 10 years.
